The intro isn't definitive, it's just a guide - I usually play it different
every time. The chords during the verses etc. are played in the same general
fashion.

G5D
Your sisters golden hair now falls
CG5
across the bed we called our own
G5D
She holds her fella tight they mock
C G5 (*Fill#1)
the isolation of the night
AmC
Every loving laugh I've known is now a
G5 D (*Fill#2)
match between my lids
AmCAmD
The night is long since you have gone
From our home
(INTRO)
G5DCG5
Can you feel me can you feel me
G5DG5
As I reach to touch you in the night
AmC
I'd run to you now if I could,
G5 D (*Fill#2)
But it's a dream my limbs are still
AmCAmD
The night plays tricks on me since you have gone
From our home
(INTRO)
G5D
So I will hide beneath the whispering trees
CG5
I'll kiss you in my memory
G5D
We walk atop these hills of sand
CG5
See how you soothe this shaking drunken hand.
AmC
Beneath the burning sun
G5 D (*Fill#2)
I felt us melting into one
AmCAmD
A year ago when you were here
In our home
(INTRO)
G5D
So I will raise my voice to the north-bound wind
CG5
In the morning you will hear me sing
G5D
A breeze to soothe your fitful rest
CG5
You'll hold this ghost song to your chest
AmC
You'll cross the desert, cross the seas
G5D
For a second you will lie with me
AmCAmD
You'll lie with me You'll lie with me
In our home.

Hopefully this should be good enough; some of it may be wrong - I'm playing
at a gig next week and I'll post if anyone listening whinges about the sound.
ALSO:
There is a problem with my last post regarding T.O.S.A.W - 'Share this wine'.
The end repeated part of the intro should read:
e--12-12--10-10--7-7--10---|
B--12-12--10-10--8-8-------|
G----------------9-9-------|

P.S. 'Happy Birthday Helen' and 'The Yearning' are on the way.
Hoo Roo!!
